Drop the reported util to below 10% and go for Discover It.

Your scores are too low if your assumption is correct. You would just be obtaining more low starting limit cards.

 

But if you must apply, I suggest Sallie Mae mastercard. It is a Barclay card, and they are somewhat tolerant of BK. And if you use the card, they usually give cli's every 6 months at the start. I agree that Discover It is also a possibility.

 

Get your utilization down first.
